OIT Communication Technologies recently upgraded the service, which is now more reliable and easier to enroll in from on- and off-campus locations. With eduroam, NC State students, employees and guests can use their Unity ID and password to connect securely and seamlessly to the Internet, both on campus and while visiting any participating institution worldwide. Guest credentials are not required.
